Kaiser Ship Breaks in Two After Trial Run
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 17—<U.R) — Federal agents and maritime commission authorities pressed an investigation tonight into circumstances surrounding the strange fate cf a 16,500-ton tanker which buckled and cracked in two at the Kaiser company’s Swan Island shipyard outfitting dock here late last night.
A crew of 30 men was aboard the tanker, the Schenectady, preparatory to sailing when the vessel suddenly buckled just aft of the bridge with a loud cracking noise. There were no serious injuries.
A few hours earlier, the Schenectady had returned from a trial run completed without incident.
Both ends of the big tanker sai\k in shallow water, the center portions knifing grotesquely above the surface of the river.
Heightening the mystery was the discovery the ship’s steel plates were not torn at the seams but instead had cracked through the middle of the two-inch plates all the way from deck to keel.
Drama Closes in Touchstone
“These Three Tonite,” Drama Workshop’s final production, will make its last appearance at 8:30 p.m. in Touchstone Little theater. Tickets are on sale in the Student Union bookstore and in the Speech office of Old College. The ducats are 35 cents or 25 cents with a student book.

Fires Visible for 100 Mile^ Left Raging in Nazi Capital After Large Force Strik

It was the first raid on Berlin since Nov. 1, 1941 and because of mans apparently were caught off guard, for only one of the giant rai< described the anti-aircraft fire which met them as “surprisingly light. For about an hour the mightiest planes in the RAF’s arsenal—1

Triumphant British Roll Toward Tripoli in Smashing Drive
LONDON, Jan. 17—(U.E)— Brit-ain’s eighth army rolled triumphantly toward Tripoli and a merger of the African fronts tonight while the axis-held Sicilian narrows area rocked under widespread new allied air blows featuring 24 hours of uninterrupted raids by planes based on Malta.
. Sweeping past Marshal Erwin Rommel’s shattered desert defenses, the eighth army drove to within 110 miles of Tripoli and its vanguard was little more than 300 miles airline from the advanced American, British and French positions in central Tunisia.
The final battles for north Africa appeared to be developing fast.
Military circles predicted the eighth army would soon take Tripoli and move on to the Tunisian frontier to launch an attack from the east timed with a big push from the west by allied forces gathering before Tunis and Bizerte. '
A third allied army, the phenomenal fighting French from the Chad under Brig. Gen. Jacques Le-. clerc, was reported in Madrid dispatches to be only 80 miles south , RAF raiders over the target dropped
eight tons of bombs in their great bays—spilled death and destruction in the heart of nazidom and Berlin admitted that on Sunday rescue crews still were digging through the debris for bodies.
The Germans, in an apparent effort to be able to announce to the home folks that the Berlin raid was avenged, attacked London last night but the nazi effort was weak by comparison to what happened in their first city only 24 hours before. Four German planes were shot down over Britain by the heaviest bursts of anti-aircraft fire seen here in a year and a half.
CAUGHT BY SURPRISE
All indications were that the men manning Berlin’s night fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns, which the nazis have boasted could not be pierced, were caught by surprise. The air ministry, in releasing a summary of the attack early today, quoted pilots as saying that “ack acfc” was unusually light over the target which the RAF refers to as “the big city.”
It was suggested that the Germans may have thought the city safe from attack because it had not been an RAF target for so many months and that they were not prepared’ for the raiders who flew through heavy clouds most of the way on the 1200-mile round trip
